Psalms 20

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] May YHWH answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high.

The LORD hear you in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend you;

2 He will send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.

Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;

3 He will remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. (Selah)

Remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice; (Selah)

4 He will grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your plans.

Grant you according to your own heart, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May YHWH grant all your requests.

We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

6 Now I know that YHWH saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with a mighty act of deliverance by his right hand.

Now know I that the LORD saves his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of YHWH our God.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

9 Save, YHWH. Let the King answer us when we call.

Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
